• High quality custom made homework problems
• Enthusiasm to keep students engaged!

Tutoring Approach

Having worked in education in various capacities for more than 5 years, i'm particularly aware of the pastoral responsibility that all those who teach are privileged to hold. It is deeply important to me that as well as receiving a first class education, all students are happy and fundamentally come to enjoy tutoring sessions.

My approach to tutoring is centred on

• Building confidence
• Encouraging genuine interest and enthusiasm
• A student centred approach, adapting lessons to suit the student
• Detailed feedback in the form of marked homework
